Fawn Area Elementary is an incredible school! My son blossomed as a kindergartener there under the supervision on Mrs. Moreland! The whole community gets involved and the PTO is the best I have ever seen. They always have things going on for the children and are forever coming up with great ideas to get the families and community involved with the school. The staff is very helpful, you really get the sense that it is more of a family than a school. I would recommend Fawn to anyone!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Pennsylvania used the Pennsylvania System of State Assessments (PSSA) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in math and reading, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The results for reading, writing, science and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The PSSA is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Pennsylvania. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
